No love for the REL S series anymore?

Kind of wondering what's happening. Been trying to sell a REL Storm III for 2 months now and not even getting a nibble. There's 3 of them just sitting in the FS ads and are not moving.
Used to be the REL S series of subs were hard to find and went quickly.

Has something happened to their good reputation that I'm not aware of?

IMO, the storm is not one of their finest.Most recognize this and hence the lack of interest..Ive seen them as low as 450ish and still dont sell.I personally wouldnt want one again at any price

you may have seen a STORM I *not* sell for $450, but not a STORM III. Natural Veneer Storm III''s sell quickly so long as they are priced reasonably. Britix Black isn't as well liked. Used Cherry Veneer Storm III's sold for a few years for ~$1100, but in the past year I've seen the prices drop to under $1000, but they still sell. All this of course assumes the unit is in very good cond or better.

I've owned several S series REL's and had issues as several others have as well so maybe it is their reputation finally catching up!

I've had 3 Rel Storms - 2 Storm III's, 1 Storm I. Never had an issue. Still have 1 of my Storm III's and always will. It's fantastic - by far the most musical sub, and easiest to integrate I've ever had.
